These people would have to be quarantined regardless of a positive or negative test result. This helps authorities focus on the new chains of infection, according to a press release from the health official LHStv. Christine Haberlander (ÖVP) on Monday.
The change in testing strategy should lead to an understanding of the infection chains. All persons who report symptoms below the 1450 number are also screened and considered suspicious cases. It will also not change anything in tests on sensitive areas. The goal here is to reduce wait times and isolate those affected as soon as possible.
Recognition of positive antigen tests without a subsequent PCR test in symptomatic individuals would also contribute significantly to clarification. “There are already good discussions with the Federal Ministry of Health to recognize the results of these tests and thus provide relief,” explained Haberlander. “The best rules do not help if people do not obey them. I appeal again and urgently to everyone in Upper Austria: the situation is serious, even very serious. If we adhere to the measures, we wear masks, we keep our distance So we are together, “he insisted.
